What next for Copplestone Barbarica 15mm fantasy?

[DivisMal]

Thank you, Captain!

I had contact with Mr Copplestone several years ago and we talked (via email) about the continuation of the Barbarica range.
He told me he had a command and a hero pack for the picts ready and I remember I even sent him scans of real archaeological finds of stone axes and flint swords.

Sadly after a while he didnt reply anymore (I feared the worst) and stopped producing anything - then after a while came the cavalry packs and then again nothing.

Just now with Angel Barrack's fabulous new range of terrain, it would make so much sense to complete the range!!!!

I insist but is anybody knows where is the mould of this mini ?

[swiftnick]

It has been so long since an update and seeing him so busy on other ranges, makes me fear that he has lost interest.

[swiftnick]

I emailed Nick Eyre and asked him if he could shine some light on what is going on. He replied that Mark had said he was going to concentrate on Barbarica but hasn't yet.
I have asked him to pass on that we are all patiently waiting for news.

[Duncan McDane]

He doesn't seem to be that busy for Northstar either, since he didn't do much ( in fact, only the Chieftain if I'm correct )  on the FG Barbarians and I don't see much new Copplestone figures on their forthcoming Archipelago-range either.
But I don't do 15mm, so it doesn't hurt too bad  .

I just realised the new metal Oathmark dwarves are new Copplestones

Yes, and these are nice...but even nicer would be archers and characters for his 15mm barbarica dwarfes!!!

[Duncan McDane]

Ow, wow, those are pretty good, actually. Drat, might have to buy a plastic box of Dwarfs for an excuse to get those metals  .

[swiftnick]

Well the jig is up as they say looks like there will be no more Barbartica releases.

[Mr.J]

Have you heard something or just surmising from the lack of releases recently?

Yes, that would interest me, too.

Would be a shame, if they left this line unfinished (like the 10mm fantasy which also was never completed).

Swiftnick is perhaps referring to what our North Star Nick said in another thread:

It's still a beautiful range. But I doubt we'll see anything more for it. We've ran Copplestone Castings for a couple of years now and there hasn't been any new 15mm from Mark in this time. His next range is actually going to be 28mm Darkest Africa, but I won't say any more till the first figures come through.

[Captain Blood]

Yes, saw that. It's a shame. There again, Mark Copplestone has always followed his own star and sculpted the things that sparked his interest at the time. That's artists for you... Perhaps he'll come back to these and pleasantly surprise us all one day

Let’s hope so. I really do.

Well if nick wants to get another 15mm sculptor to fill the gaps, I have some sculpts ready to go on my shelf....
